England's Ollie Robinson celebrates after taking the wicket of Australia's David Warner. (Reuters) Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has joined his former teammates and took a dig on England seamer Ollie Robinson saying he is not James Anderson and he must concentrate on taking wickets.
“He needs to shoosh,” Clarke said on the Big Sports Breakfast.
“If England were fully fit you wouldn’t even get a game, Ollie. If Joffra Archer was playing, or if (Mark) Wood had been playing and was fully fit, old mate — I don’t know what town he plays for — he’d be back playing clubbies.
“… I actually don’t know what he’s doing. If James Anderson is saying all this, he’s got street cred. He’s played 180 Test matches , he’s got a lot of wickets. This dude has been around for five minutes.
“… He needs to concentrate on taking wickets .. Ollie, just keep taking five-fors and then you can say what you like.
Clarke was also surprised with what Ollie Robinson wrote in his coloumn for Wisden. “Baz (McCullum) said it after the game, “It feels like we’ve won, lads.” We’ve entertained the world, and we’ve put the Aussies on the back foot. For him to say that after a loss is quite significant for us,” Robinson wrote.
“To me when you win it feels like you win, when you lose it feels like you lose. If you had have had a draw, then you can think about saying that but you actually lost,” Clarke said on the Big Sports Breakfast.
“…. That’s called the ultimate positivity. It felt like a win when you lost? That’s a different feeling to what I ever remember when we lost.”
